Both teams rank among the nation's top 10 in scoring, with Georgia averaging 89.8 points per game after setting a school record, this season, while St. Louis puts up 87.2. Biles points to Georgia Superior athleticism, especially sophomore Jeremiah Wilkinson, who averages 17 points per game, giving the Bulldogs an edge in fast breaks where they lead the country at 19.9 points per game.
